Why Are Regular Dental Cleanings & Exams Important?

Prevent Cavities and Tooth Decay

Even with excellent brushing and flossing at home, plaque can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar before they lead to cavities, gum inflammation, or other oral health problems. Regular hygiene visits also help us determine when preventive treatments, such as dental sealants, may help protect your child's teeth from cavities.

Monitor Growth and Development

Children's mouths change rapidly as they grow. Regular dental visits allow us to monitor tooth eruption, bite development, spacing concerns, and potential orthodontic issues.

Support Healthy Gums

Healthy gums are essential for a healthy smile. Professional hygiene appointments help prevent gingivitis and promote strong gum tissue around developing teeth.

Build Lifelong Healthy Habits

Our team teaches children proper brushing and flossing techniques in a fun and encouraging way, helping establish healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

Did you know...

Professional cleanings remove hardened tartar buildup that often cannot be removed with brushing or flossing at home!

What Happens During a Pediatric Dental Cleaning & Exam?

1

Comprehensive Dental Examination

At each visit, Dr. Riley Reardon performs a thorough examination of your child's teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health. We look for early signs of cavities, developmental concerns, bite issues, and other conditions that may benefit from early intervention. Depending on your child's age, dental history, and risk for cavities, digital X-rays may be recommended to help identify concerns that are not visible during a visual examination. 

2

Professional Dental Cleaning

Our dental team gently removes plaque and tartar buildup before polishing the teeth to create a clean, smooth surface. Children typically enjoy leaving with their teeth feeling fresh and shiny.

3

Fluoride or Fluoride Alternative Treatment

Depending on your child's needs, we may recommend a professional fluoride or fluoride alternative treatment to strengthen enamel and help protect against cavities.

4

Oral Hygiene Education

We provide personalized guidance on brushing, flossing, nutrition, and cavity prevention so families can support healthy smiles at home!
